    Pre-Spanish Period

    “This land is Ours God gave this land to us”

    Before the Spaniards came to the Philippines, Filipinos lived in villages or barangays ruled by

    chiefs or datus. The datus comprised the nobility. Then came the maharlikas (freemen), followed

    by the aliping mamamahay (serfs) and aliping saguiguilid (slaves).

    However, despite the existence of different classes in the social structure, practically everyone had

    access to the fruits of the soil. Money was unknown, and rice served as the medium of exchange.
